Eating

That is the worst way to handle your weight gain. That is extremely unhealthy, and will only slow your metaboism down in the long run. Not to mention the dangers of developing an eating disorder that very easily can spin out of control (i had one for 5 years). If you havent changed your diet, maybe it has something to do with your thyroid. Talk to your doctor.

I agree with java. That is just plain stupid. That's called anorexia. Millions die from that each year.

...I am a binge eater...I gain about one pound per day.....Then go a few not eating much...Then binge for a few days and gaing it back.........I have gained about 50 lbs in the past few months....

Dont do this! Youre killing yourself
if you want to lose weight then do it sensibly! Ie: healthy eating, excercise etc.
Go talk to a doctor, dietician.
You dont know what youre getting yourself into..... Its so hard to get out of

I agree that starving yourself is not the best way to lose weight because if you do get to the weight you wont and eat anything it will all turn to fat and you gain more weight then you lost. Plus if you start it is hard to stop.

you have to do a healthy diet it you dont wont to
get in to the anorexia!

If you want to lose weight (that includes those of you who are binge eating etc) try walking (gentle walk only)for about 30 to 60 minutes first thing in the morning, if you can get it (it's banned in australia, but most things are!!) get dhea (my dr has special government approval to import it for his patients) this helps lots of things (go to a search engine & type in dhea & see for yourself) including losing weight gradually but he also insists on the walk & on a reasonable diet, he lost 30kgs in a few months himself doing this & with very little change to his diet.

But if you have an image problem/stress/control issues or similar you also need to address these if you want long term change in which case you might try a supplement called 5htp (look up tryptophan on a search engine).

Always_late,
listen to me! I am a recovering ana. It is soooo much harder to stop one of these addictions then it is to start one! I starved myself for 3 years and my low point was at 5’5” 93lbs when I finally realized that I needed help. That starving myself and restricting what I ate only made problems worse! Here I am about a year and a half later, and though I want to eat, and I try and I am “well” I still have problems, you never recover from these diseases. They always stay in your mind! Girl, I am begging you, try another diet! Something healthy with a healthy balance of exercise! Eating disorders are nothing to be messed with! They distort your mind and body and the aftermath isn’t worth the pain and expense you, your body, your mind and your loved ones have to go through!

Alwayslate,
please don't do this to yourself, it's not worth it....I've just recently quit denying it and admitted that I suffer from ana....I was in denial for 2 years but can't do it anymore...My body is so depleted of the nutrients and vitamins that I need to live and thrive..Right now i'm 5'4 103lbs, that's not healthy! You should really go talk to someone who knows how you feel and can help you go about this the right way...I also just found out a couple weeks ago that i'm pregnant, and am scared to death as to what this disease will do to my baby. Starving yourself isn't the way to lose the weight, do it by exercising, walk around your local mall or shopping area...Eat fruits and veggies...It's not how much you put in your mouth, it's what you're putting in your mouth that matters...I wish I would have seen the consequences to being victim to this monster before I started...I cant stop and now need professional help....I just went to a specialist yesterday and she told me all about ana....Did you know that you can fall victim to sudden death? Just up and die because of not eating? Well you can....Is that what you want? Please, take it from someone who is there right now, not eating isn't the way to do this, you're just opening up a whole new ball game of problems, some of which will never go away. Not only do you suffer, but the people who love you suffer also.

Very bad idea.. I am recovering from ana and mia as we speak and I am pregnant.. Been recovering for 1 1/2 months now. . .

But not eating until u lose weight is definitly not going to give u the results u want. . I used to try that too. Want to know what it does? Every time u deny yourself and restrict. .Your metabolism will slow down.. That means u will end up gaining weight 10x easier then if u just eat a healthy amount. The only way to lose weight and keep it off and not have to worry about gaining is to eat enough. I mean no lower then 1,500 cals a day. Period. I know u mite not listen, hell, I never listened when I was deep in my e/d and everyone told me that, but now I wish I wouldve. But everyday u keep this up. .Your metabolism will slow and slow..And then u could gain weight on eating next to nothing!
